CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety (NHOHS) recently honored five members of law enforcement at its annual awards ceremony that recognizes individuals for their efforts and continuous commitment to removing impaired drivers and improving safety on state roadways.
“The New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety is proud to recognize and honor our law enforcement partners for their commitment and passion to remove impaired drivers from our roads,” said New Hampshire Department of Safety Assistant Commissioner Eddie Edwards.
The awards were presented to two state troopers and three police officers by Edwards. The following received awards:
•Trooper James Lamoureux, New Hampshire State Police
•Trooper William Moran, New Hampshire State Police
•Officer Justin Takesian, Kingston Police Department
•Officer Chloe Robidas, Durham Police Department
•Lt. William Daisey, Northumberland Police Department
“This elite group of officers and Troopers represents the top performing members of law enforcement in the state, who have worked tirelessly toward this very important effort,” said NHOHS Program Manager John Clegg. “Every DWI arrest made by these dedicated individuals represents a potential crash that could have occurred and a life that could have been lost. Their contributions to highway safety do not go unrecognized, and we thank them for keeping our roads safe and protecting us all. They are all true heroes.”
The NHOHS awards grants to local, county and state agencies to improve highway safety and reduce deaths and serious injuries due to crashes using funding provided by The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In federal fiscal year 2023, the NHTSA awarded the State of New Hampshire more than $2 million to combat impaired driving.
